Cari Hotel 2-Star di Kinmen

民宿打掃得非常乾淨，可以說是一塵不染，寢具很親膚超級舒服，感覺有好好乾洗過，不是那種制式的被子有霉味又難蓋，服務態度也非常好，入住後遇到什麼問題都是即時回覆，當晚房間突然出現一隻大飛蟲，跟民宿說了一下，民宿馬上派人來幫我抓蟲，讓我睡得很安穩，下次來金門也要住這間。

The homestay is a short walk from the bus stop (for buses No Red 1 and No 2 from the main Kinmen town of Jincheng) and a 7-11 convenience store. The traditional Fujian building is beautiful and an attraction in itself, with an atmospheric courtyard where guests could chill with coffee and/or a meal. But it has been newly renovated with modern amenities, and the place is very clean and well kept. The host was warm and really very helpful. When he heard that we wanted to walk up Mt Taiwu, he drove us to the start of the walking trail. He also gave us a contact for a taxi driver in case we needed a ride back. And when he learnt that we were tracing our ancestors, he brought us to meet an elder who might have a family register. Really thankful to have met a host like him.

I really enjoyed my stay in this minsu, the host was great and helpful. Helped to reserve our ferry tickets in advance, picked us up at the kinmen ferry terminal and offered to send us there on our return trip. Gave us lots of recommendations. The traditional house was great, like the ambience, very clean compact (being an old house) but has everything like washer, water dispenser, even a vinyl player with old nostalgic songs!

It is far from the main road, but near the beach. So there is Pro and Con that each individual needs to consider. The person that welcomes us is friendly and warm, explaining all the necessary details that are needed. The bed is good and the water heater is functioning. The air-conditioning is cold. The beach near by is nice and one can see the 金门大桥.

What I liked: the location is very convenient if you’re coming to Kinmen from Xiamen. The homestay is walking distance from Shuitou Port (about 15 minutes). The owner is a very friendly and helpful person. He helped me rent an electric motorcycle and responded very fast to all of my text messages. The homestay is clean (the cleaning lady is very kind, too! ^^). There’s a lot of storage space as well as lockers. The shampoo and body wash in the bathroom were also really nice. What could be improved: the bunk beds consists of a wooden plank and bedding, so it was quite hard and a bit uncomfortable. However, I still managed to sleep well and there’s enough privacy. There are no locks in the homestay. Basically anyone from outside can access the public areas and the room with the bunk beds, which can be scary for some solo travelers. However, the homestay has security cameras and Kinmen is very safe in general, so I was never really worried. The door of the room is quite heavy and makes a lot of noise, so this is something to be mindful of when it’s late and you’re sharing the room with other guests. All in all, I had a great experience and would stay here again. I’m really happy to have had the opportunity to stay at a traditional house for such an affordable price.

Staying at Jingcheng Home Stay was perfect for us. Since Kinmen is a very small town and our family went there especially to experience its historic heritage. The wife of the owner of Jingcheng, Ms Xie  was extremely helpful on our first day as she took us around town for a short tour and helped us to ascertain the local tour bus routes. This saved us a lot of time and hassles in the following day. And she helped us to call a taxi ahead of time for our departure to the ferry pier. I recommend Jingcheng  very much for those who do not mind home stay.

這次入住體驗相當滿意，房間整潔舒適，設備齊全且維護良好。環境安靜，睡眠品質佳，服務人員親切熱心，地理位置便利，整體住宿感受愉快，值得再次入住並推薦給親友。

I had a really pleasant stay at Kivala Hostel. The place was very clean and well looked after, especially the bathrooms and sleeping areas, which made a big difference for a hostel. The hosts were friendly and easy to communicate with, and the check-in process was smooth. The location is quiet and peaceful, which I personally liked, though it’s a little away from the main busy areas — something to keep in mind if you want everything right outside your door. The common areas were comfortable and practical, and the overall atmosphere felt calm and respectful rather than noisy or chaotic. Overall, it’s great value for money and a solid choice if you want a clean, comfortable, and relaxed place to stay in Kinmen. I’d happily stay here again.

因為他們不在市區，所以本來想租機車，但是因為下雨，且我太晚講，租車處都已打烊（18：00後），所以只好作罷，但是還好民宿附近有公車站牌，到機場跟市區中心交通還算方便，不是一定要租機車或搭計程車，不過公車一小時一班，要自行留意到站時間，金城開車時間蠻準時的，但到民宿快則10幾分鐘，慢的話大概20幾分。

pros: 1. Located in city center and walkable to everywhere. 2. Free transportation from and to the port 3. Bed and room cleanness is okay Cons: 1. Soundproof not very well, was weakened by others guests talking outsides. 2. Shampoo, shower gel and toliet tissue quality not good. 3. The shower holder can’t change direction that you have to hold it one hand all the time during shower. And not dry/wet separation in the bathroom.
